Andrea French started Water Babies at the Maldron Hotel in Wexford when she was 12 weeks old, following in the splashes of her older sister Isabel who also attended classes. Andrea loved the water and progressed with all the other little boys and girls. When the family went to Portugal on holidays Andrea was a 18 months old and the difference between her and other children her age around the pool was amazing. Caroline said “I knew Water Babies made all the difference.”

However when Andrea was two and a half years old things changed – she got the wobbles! She no longer wanted to go swimming and if she did, she refused to do what the teacher was asking even though she was capable and knew how to do it. Caroline said “She hung onto our necks for dear life. We were getting so frustrated, attending each week and Andrea not wanting to do anything and even considered giving up. I never experienced this with my other daughter. The fear Andrea must have had! But the wobbles continued I think for almost 3 terms. And then just like that Andrea was a different child in the water. Andrea is now enjoying the swimming and her parents are now more relaxed.
